COMBINATION PLUG-COCK.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 23, 1912. Serial No. 679,531.

To all/lahm it may concern:

'arrangement for theA free passage Be it'known that I, EMIL J.MoUGn'i'rE, a

citizenof the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cookand Statev 'of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combination Plug- Cocks, of which the following is aspeci cation. l

My invention relates to combination plug' cocks and more particular to atype of combination fiuid plug cocks thatmay be disposed between agasolene--supply tank and a carbureter.

'lhe object is to provide a means whereby the supply of a liquid may-.be etfectually out off and the means virtually locked, or rather itsseveral elements so disarranged that ali uid -will not have a freepassage through tie same until saidelements have been readjusted, saidreadjustment consisting of `a secret combination the proper arrangementof which causes the elements to present a vfree passage through thecock.

The' improvement consists broadly speaking of a lug cock havin a plugsurroundurality of body ound glands, said plug and glands located withina housing and adapted to be arranged to present an interrupted or a freepassage for ali uid, sail' ing e fected by the proper alinement of aplurality of markings on said glands and stem, lthe markings beingvisible from the exterior of Said cock.

nection with automobiles or motor boats in preventing the actuation ofthe motive power by unauthorized persons, by reason of the vinability ofone not having the combination to supply gasolene to the carbureter.Obviously the more complicated the combination and the more elements requiring proper alinement the more diicult for one to solve the secret.With this point in view vI may provide a plurality of cocks v`Ihaving'gtheir outer casings eitherall cast togetherin a compact groupor have them cast separately and joined by reinforced stems,thus-niakingit practically im ossible'for improper persons to properly aine the elepassage.

aclejarer conception may be had by reference vtothe drawings forming apart of this apin which- .'plicntion.

Fig. 3 is a planview of a plurality of cocks having the elements arranged to present afree passage. Fig. 4 is a part sectional elevation on line AB ofFig. 3;

shown in Fig. 2, taken on different planes and showing theelementsarranged to present an interrupted passage. Fig. 6 lsa modifiedform of cock in which disks are used instead of glands; an interruptedpassage is here shown.

The improvement more specifically described and the several elements inFigs. 1, 2 and 5 referred 4to by numerals, l represents v a casin havingthreaded openings 2 and 3,

tted with fluid conducting tubing 4l being and 5. 6 and 7 are taperedglands having openings 8, 9, 10 and 11 and handles 12 and 13 togetherwith external markings 14. 15 is a tapered plug having passage 16,externa-l markings 17, handle 18 and nut 19, said tapered stem or plugbeing further provided with threaded ortion 20 cooperating -with the nut21, sprlng 22 and washers 23 and 24 in such 'a man-ner as to bind thewhole in an operative form.

Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, 25 represents the housing or outer casing,26 a detachable operating handle while 27 is a stem on plug 28 adaptedto secure said operating handle. The said stem is here shown square butmay obviously be made of any desired cross-section. 29 arethe'reinforced connections, 30 the fluid passage, while 31 are shortsections of hollow tubing yscrewed into threaded openings of the outercasing at 32. Threaded stem 33, nut 34 and spring 35 together withWashers37 are the securing means for. this arrangement of cock.

In the form of cock shown in Figs.` 3 and 4 I have used no glands, theybeingconsidered unnecessary where a plurality of cocks are used. itbeing understood however that I may if I so desire employ the same ingstems 44 and operating handles 45 sai handles having pointersV 46operating in conjunction with markings similar to those yshown 1n 'Figs1 and 3. 46Av is a cover 'held in place by screw thread 47. 48 rep?resents hollow tubing and 49 a passage through the several elements. Acentral stem 50 to -which the bottom disk is secured has a taperedportion l-coperating with the tapered hole in the outer casing, washer52, nut 53 and spring 54 in a manner tending'to 4prevent leakage andfurther insure a practi- 'cal mechanically operative. device. The

small plug 55 in the upper disk is screwed in place after the latter hasbeenlinedup with its cooperating disks and a combination effecting afree passage through the elements decided upon.

^ In the manufacture of these cocks the same method of grinding will befollowed as is obviate this necessity.

'employed in the construction of ordinary .y may be found to improve thedevice and its effectiveness as long as the alterations and improvementsdo not depart from the spirit of the invention as set forth in theclaims.

Having thus described the features, their operation 4and advantages,lclaim:

1. A combination` plug cock having a plug, a plurality of glandsencircling said plug-and parallel to the same, a housing adapted tosecure said plug and glands, openings in the walls of the housing andglands and a passage through the plug, together with means for aliningor staggering said openings and passage to presenta free or aninterrupted passage through the several elements.-

2. A combination plug cock having a tapered plug, a plurality of taperedglands encircling s aid lug and v.parallel to the same, a taperedousingadapted to receive said-.plug and-glands, openings in the Wallsofthe housing and glands and apassage through said plug,- means-:foraliningor stag+v gering said openings and passage to present a free' oran' interrupted' passage through 'the several elements, a threaded stem-on .said plug2 a nut, a spring and washers coperat- 'ing 1n such amanner with said threaded f stem as to keep the several elements inproper relation.

A combination plugcock having a tapered plug, a plurality of taperedglands encircling said plug and parallel to the same, a tapered housingadapted to receive said plug and glands the two latter being revoluble,openings in the walls .of said housing and glands and a passage throughthe plug, handles secured to the upper ends of said glands and plug, aplurality of markings on the visible or upper ends of the glands, plugand housing, said markings being numbered. progressively inA groups onthe several elements,` a threaded stem on said plug, a nut having anannularl recess, a helical spring in said recess, and Washerscooperating in such a manner withfthe threaded stem as to keep theseveral elements' in proper relation.

4. A plurality of combination fluid plug eating means between theelements -in the groups and means for alining or staggering saidcommunicating means whereby a .free or an interrupted passage for afluid may be had.

5. A plurality of combination fluid cocks arranged in groups, said cockshaving tapered plugs and housings, .the Walls 'of said housings beingparallel to the sides of the plugs, openings in the walls of saidhousings and passages through said plugs f cocks arranged in groupshaving communitogether with means for alining or st-aggering saidopenings and passages to present a free or an interrupted passagelthrough the several elements. 6. A plurality `of combination fluidcocks arranged in groups, said cocks having tapered plugs and housings,the walls of said housings being parallel to the .sides 'of the plugs,openings in the Walls of said housings and passagesthrough saidplu s,communlcatlng means betweensaidcoc s,
